Subject: Survivability of modern MBTs vs WWII weapons
HeavyD    8/24/2010 1:51:36 AM
Just how invincilbe woule a M1A2, Challenger 2 or Leopard 2 be vs WWII anti-tank weapons? Frontally at 500 meters could anyting dent a modern MBT? How about air-launched rockets? Artillery fire (how close would a 150 - 155mm round need to be to kill a tank or crews if buttoned up?) How about massive bombing efforts - at what proximity would a 500 LB GP bomb kill tank or buttoned-up crew? The Ferdinand/Elephant was vulnerable to mobility kills and to close-in attack with molotov tails, but would that even work against a modern MBT?
